Prologue
It took me so long to figure out where I was.
Surrounded by people I never knew existed. Am I still alive? I placed my hand over my heart. I felt a deep thud. And another.
Thank God. I felt my heartbeat, that answers my question. I held out a breathe and give out a sigh.
Still, I can feel eyes staring at me, ready to crush me down any minute. I feel numb, I can't move from where I am standing. I felt somethings missing. Like a crime unsolved.
I looked through the crowd. Ceiling to ceiling. Wall to wall. Then there he was like a lonesome lovebird waiting for its mate. He's the one I've been looking for. Or I thought so. Standing at the far end of the balcony. I can see him through the moonlight. I know he is waiting for someone.
He is waiting for me.
I took all the courage to rush to him. As I was heading, somebody was approaching from nowhere to where he is standing.
She's pretty, so sweet, delicate. She seems to be perfect. In less than a minute, she was united with him. She was dressed in a bloody-red soft flowing cotton dress.
They look so perfect. Like they were carved for each other.
He held her hand close ti his lips and kissed it. But I know it was just an act of respect to a lady like her. But she misunderstood it. Instead, she leaned closer to his lips and kissed him. She planted a smooth and soft kiss. I felt a pang in my bleeding-aching heart.
And I was there, not too many steps away, waiting for destiny to do its duty. Suddenly, he looked away trying to avoid the scene. As he looked away, I saw, his eyes were full of loneliness. I know he wasn't expecting for her, but for me.
Hope flooded my mind and heart. I tried to reach out for his hand hoping he'll recognize my touch. But as I was reaching for his hand there was a strong force pulling me away ---- away from my love. I struggled to reach out, too desperate he wouldn't know my feelings for him. But then, I remembered what my mommy used to tell me, "Happy endings are for fairy tales, they don't really work out in reality".
Then it strucked me. I know where I am. In a world full of fantasies and hopes. In a world where they don't know the meaning of seeing the reality. In a world full of wants.Surrounded by people I never knew existed. Am I still alive? I placed my hand over my heart. I felt a deep thud. And another.
Thank God. I felt my heartbeat, that answers my question. I held out a breathe and give out a sigh.

But then, I remembered what my mommy used to tell me, "Happy endings are for fairy tales, they don't really work out in reality".
Now, I am ready to admit it, tired of all the denials, I am in a world of dreams. But then I wasn't destined to finish my mission here. Even though my knight of shining armor awaits and welcomes me. I still just can't escape the truth behind reality. The thought of it makes my heart ache more. I just can't resist it. I'm going to find you. I'm going to find a way so that we could go out in this world of dreams. Then we will be together and nothing can ever separate us. I'm going to look for you the real world. You'll be the one who's gonna help me face the reality. Together we'll fight for our love.
But for now, you'll be left here in this lonely, night-existing world of dreams.
I breathe in oxygen.
I told my brain to tell my eyes to open. And that's when I awoke.
Sunlight welcomed me in this real world.
